Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Thistle Hill homes
We travel to Thistle Hill for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HG5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thistle Hill
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thistle Hill and across North Yorkshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Thistle Hill: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HG5 postcode.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
